Section 69.202 - Organization and operation of utility staff involved in nuclear fuel procurement

(a) A utility should maintain an appropriate staff to adequately fulfill its responsibility to procure nuclear fuel at the lowest reasonable cost. The utility should be prepared to solicit and handle competent bids and investigate these potential sources for ability to fulfill contracts.

(b) A utility should have a detailed organization chart of the personnel involved in nuclear fuel procurement, with a key official designated to act as liaison with the Commission. A utility should maintain written job descriptions for personnel, as well as formal policies and procedures pertaining to the nuclear fuel procurement process. These should be retained by the utility in the event of Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission review.

A utility should take appropriate steps to ensure that personnel making procurement decisions have no conflicting interests or affiliations, or the appearance of conflict.
